The researches find that the blood-clotting diseases, namely thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, or TTP, and hemolytic uremic syndrome, or HUS, show similar pathologies a multitude of painful blockages in small blood vessels that cause varying degrees of organ injury throughout the body. However, the two disorders have distinct biological mechanisms. Therefore Now, in a preclinical study…
The researches find that the few ingredients span the range of international cuisines as much as garlic. Garlic has a rich and interesting history as both a flavoring and a medicinal food. The bulb of a plant in the allium family (along with onions and chives), garlic contains potent antibacterial and antimicrobial properties, and is…
The researches find that the a team of Johns Hopkins data researchers is studying the economic and safety implications associated with the devices used to perform colonoscopy. Gastroenterology researcher Susan Hutfless led a first-of-its-kind study published online last week in the BMJ journal Gut; reporting that while disposable devices might lead to lower rates of post colonoscopy infection; institutions that perform…
Patients with autism may have altered visual processing; which could serve as an objective, nonverbal neural marker of the disorder, new research suggests. Using electroencephalography (EEG), investigators found that adults with autism have differences; in the part of the brain that processes visual information and these differences used to predict which individuals have autism. “This…
According to the study, the researchers have come one step closer to understanding; that how the immune system responding to the acute dengue fever; a disease that has affected hundreds of thousands of people in Southeast Asia this summer alone. But the research study showing that so-called natural killer cells were especially active shortly after…
The study find that the magnetic iron oxide NPs are nowadays used as potential multimodal imaging probes such as PET/MRI, MRI/ultrasound (US),MRI/computed tomography (CT), or PET/near-infrared fluorescence/MRI. Therefore It can be highly beneficial to combine PET with MRI. PET is highly sensitive and particularly well suited for molecular imaging. The simultaneous use of MRI and PET…

The brain’s prefrontal cortex, which gives us our ability to solve problems and plan ahead, contains billions of cells. But understanding the large diversity of cell types in this critical region, each with unique genetic and molecular properties, has been challenging. Scientists have known that much of this diversity results from epigenetics as well as…
One of the first studies of its kind focusing on South African children’s language ability; and mental health outcomes, has found clear evidence for a link between low language ability; and depression in young people.
